PANTS- SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 387,090, dated July 31, 1888.

Application filed May 3, 1888. Serial No. 272,677. (No model.)

T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTHONEY E. MAooRIs, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pants-Supporters, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

The purpose of this invention is to provide simple, inexpensive, convenient, and effective means for supporting pants while not in use, in such a manner as to air them and maintain them in proper shape free from wrinkles and bagging at the knees, and in such a condition as to permit thorough brushing of the pants; and to that end my invention consists in the improved pants-supporter hereinafter fully described, and specifically set forth in the claims.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 shows my invention in use, and Fig. 2 is a detached plan view of the pantssupporter.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The pants-supporter consists, essentially, of a frame composed of sections adjustably coupled together to permit extension and contraction of said frame, so as to adjust the frame to the size of the waist of the pants into which it is inserted and having armsextending in opposite directions from said sections, and terminating with suitable catches adapted to engage the Suspender-buttons of the pants and obtain a proper hold for supporting the pants and holding the waist thereof expanded so as to be free from wrinkles and permit ventilation thereof.

A A denote the aforesaid frame-sections, each of which I preferably form of a single 40 piece of wire bent into the shape of an elongated loop, a, then twisted, as shown at i, and then turned in opposite directions to form the arms I) b and bent at its extremities into the shape of hooks c c, or other suitable shape adapted to catch onto the buttons, as before stated. The two sections are coupled together adjustably by one of theloopsapassing through the other loop from one side thereof and after crossing the side bars of the latter loop extendingaround theoppositesidethereof. Said loops are thus so interlocked as to securely couple them together and allow them to slide longitudinally on each other.

WVhat I claim as my invention is l. A pantssupporter consisting of a frame composed of sections adjustably coupled together to permit extension and contraction of said frame, and arms extending in opposite directions from said sections, and terminating with catches adapted to engage the suspenderbuttons of the pants, substantially as described and shown.

2. A pants-supporter consisting of a frame composed of two sections, A A, each formed of wire bent into the elongated loop a, termi nating at one end with arms I) b, and with hooks c 0 on the free ends of said arms, and the loops at a of the said two sections being interlocked with each other and adapted to slide longitudinally on each other, substantially as described and shown.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name, in the presence of two witnesses, at Binghamton, in the county of Broome, in the State of New York, this 27th day of April, 1888.
